What an iconic fight, one of my all time favorites, Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson tore the house down at UFC 165, Gus came to fight and man he pushed Jon to the limit, absolute warrior 👏👏👏

Can't wait for the rematch this coming December

3:20 Alexander called it lol

"If i take Gustafsson down, he will experience the worst ground and pound of his life"... that literally gave me goosebumps. I cant wait for this

"i can beat john jones, any day" unbeliveble he stood to his statements.

I never expected Gus to have the slightest chance against Jones but man did he hang in there. He really surprised me with this fight. Much respect to Gus and I'm not gunna lie I was nervous as shit for Jones because even thought I'm a big fan of Jones, Gus was clearly winning until his cardio failed him in the 4th and 5th rounds. I'm glad Jones is still the champion but not gunna lie if that was a 3 round fight Gus probably would have took it. They will have an amazing rematch one day!

Gus was the best competition for jones ever he even said that! In still won fair in sqaure!

kenny florini telles me nothing i dont already know every single time in these previews. love it

Lol Jones had almost a 5 inch reach advantage over Gus and still got his ass kicked!

I'm still waiting on Jones vs. Mousasi. I think that would be an awesome fight.

Gus was robbed...

"Man, that guy hits hard." EVERY. SINGLE. PROMO.

man i love barao and his attitude

Renan Barao = The GOAT. People say Fedor was undefeated for a long time. Renan has the longest win streak in MMA and for 8 years!

Thank you!

i love the tire behind bones for strongman flip

Eddie - "I'm not concerned at all with his quickness or his speed" Hahaha

Exactly! And there is no rush for Jones to go to HW, he is still very young and is just now hitting his prime. He's got plenty of time to conquer multiple divisions.

Jones and Barao will both remain champions.

This fight will be the part 1 of a great trilogy.

each fight is bigger than the last, the UFC is growing so yeah :)

i want this to be a good enough fight for a series between these mammoths...

And ive been fan of jones in his debut before anybody knew him, i always go for my team jackson homeboys

Jones is huge for his weight class and is probably the most dynamic fighter in the division as well, that's why hes the best. The reason why he can fight the way he does is probably due to his height and reach advantage too, gives him more options.

I think a lotta people are counting Alexander out way too early. I believe this will be the toughest fight job jones has had yet

I bought really expensive tickets because I want to see Barao/Wineland, that will be a sick fight. Seeing Jones demolish Gus is just a bonus.

He's trying to argue that every fighter does that because of one welterweight fighter. The way Jones is, you can tell he doesn't add that much weight on. He's calculating every single things he does. He even said it.

Exactly. People act like he's so great and unique. Really its all just his reach and size. That allows him to manhandle everybody. He's really more of a strategist then a fighter.

You're right he doesn't weigh in at 220. They weigh in 24 hours prior to the fight. He dehydrates himself to make it to 205, then rehydrates himself after weighing in, weighing around 220 or more on fight day.

1. Size and skill are two different things 2. He's definitely the most dynamic fighter in the division, but Anderson fights in a different weight class.

BARAO REMINDS ME OF ALDO IMAGINE THEM 2 GOING AT IT

The very reason Jones is so great is because he's super fucking calm. His emotions and his nerves and shit don't dictate his fight. He's able to remain calm and calculate everything he does, he's not being affected by adrenaline in a negative way. Plus he's just a big ass dude, so when he is taking his shots calmly he's doing them from half way across the cage with his freaky limbs lol

Kenny's Joe Rogan impersonation is perfect.

That mustache is alpha.

"They have a lot of similarities. They both have long reaches, they're both tall.." I would have never guessed...

As a swede and a huge gus fan, your paint-post still made me laugh.

Gustaffson is a great fighter. Jon Jones is from another planet...

it seems most fights now depend on who is reffing rather than what fighter actually wins

I like the part when they say Gustafsson is taller than Jon Jones, and then they show a picture of their stare down and Jon Jones is taller than him.

"Maybe I'll be the first guy to take him down" -AG, I bet no one saw any hope in this

Eddie looks awesome with that mustache

I think Jones would still be one of the top fighters in the heavyweight division too, I can see him becoming the heavyweight champ. Even in the heavyweight division he still has a considerable reach advantage over everyone, when he beefs up he will be able to out wrestle a lot of heavyweights. I see 3 people who could potentially beat him Cain, JDS or Cormier... Jones vs Cormier would be a good fight, cause he is a top wrestler, got the speed and power and he's very athletic and unpredictable.

One of my favourite fighters vs a fighter from my home country! Cant wait! Heja Sverige! Go Gustafsson!

I got Renan but I agree with you and the mustache.

I used to dislike Jones but he's going to be a champion for a very long time...

need to see the jones vs velasquez fight soon

Bout time Jones have someone his size, height and arm length. This is the fight that'll give reason to why he's earned ownership of that belt so long

i dont know if it is the ufc or youtube but the ufc's videos are always incredibly hard for me to watch... not starting, stopping randomly, not loading and god forbid you pause them someone please fix this

I think Lyoto should get another chance. Even though he got choke out last time, he gave Jones a challenge and got way better.

Yea, Jones still has a massive reach advantage on him. He's only an inch taller and that doesn't really even it out. Idk why they say they are extremely similar. Jones is also has more depth to his game and is much more technical, while Gustafsson's more of a brawler with a decent array of tools.

I was just reading through this chain of comments. Actually they can. Especially if you add in liquids to rehydrate. Urijah Faber actually said after his last weighin that he put on like 22 lbs. & he's a Bantamweight!

and that is why he dominates. and the fact that hes strong as hell (leverage)

Eddie W. be swaggin' that moustache

ill rly love to see jones outstrike alexander respect to both fighters both are awesome :D

All it takes is one strong punch to the jaw. Look at silva vs weidman. Gustaffson has proved more than once he has a one punch knock out power.

LOL at the Chef Boyardee mustache.

I was thinking that Jones is primarily a wrestler while Gustafsson is a striker. I wouldn't call him a "brawler," though, not even close. He's got great combinations that end in that devastating uppercut that is somewhat of his signature, and he is evasive with good foot work. He's always moving and attacking angles. He's been called the Dominique Cruz of light weight. It's likely not a coincidence. They train at the same gym.

Damn.... all of the guys Jones had beaten are elite fighters : Bader-The Janitor-Rampage-Rashad-Belfort-Vera-Sonnen-Gustaffson.....!!!!

Gustafsson has more chance of hopping up Mount Everest on one leg than taking that belt from Jones. He is just to good.

Thumbs up to show support for Wineland's brother.

my heart goes to Alexander

I just hope this gets at least 3 rounds long, and JJ takes it easy.

Very interesting match up. Gustafsson definitely has the better boxing and hand speed.

i would love to see 2 new champs in one night

There is a huge difference between the two in terms of sheer skill. Watch both of their matches against shogun.

I do hope Gustaffson wins, I just hope he's ready to get back to his feet if Jones can take him down. Jones has a very clear advantage on the advancement of his grappling, but the difference will be in the striking. Jones will get close enough to clinch, throw elbows, a choke or a take down, while Gustaffson must circle and use his striking to clear that base of grappling and clinch game. I would also like to see Eddie Wineland win, guy has amazing striking, but I worry for his grappling.

The most damage Jones has ever taken is when he broke his own toe when out-wrestling Sonnen. That means that in the Octagon he's done more damage to himself than 13 opponents, including five world champions and ex-world champions have done. He's destroyed legend after legend and barely taken a punch. Belfort almost landed a sub but didn't, and Machida may have stolen a round, and in the absence of any thing else these are held up as great victories. GSP doesn't compare.

I want to see the Renan Barao-Michael McDonald rematch.

Gustaffson is taller than Jon Jones but he still has an 8 inch reach disadvantage

He has gotten wiser.

who ever shows up wins, lets see some heart

That was the best comment, hahahha. Totally agree with you, UFC promotions is just terrible.

Jon Jones is the best P4P fighter in the world! He is an incredible athlete, and what he has achieved in the sport over such a short period is unreal! I have a lot of respect for him as a fighter! I cannot see Gustafsson beating Jones, nobody in the LHW division can. The only person with a slight chance i thought was Machida, but after his loss to Davis, that looks like a no no. Bones has the division on lock and thrown away the key!

Gustafsson took head kicks and spinning back elbows and still hung in there, i am not bias in either direction. Gustafsson won that fight hands down.

Go Jones! You have a legacy ahead of you young man! Gustafsson isnt nearly as gifted or talented as Jones. Not only do I obviously think Jones will win, but I believe he deserves it much more.

Pettis is gonna be the next Anderon Silva! Even though I think Wiedman could break the record for MW title defenses Pettis is gonna be the new A. Silva because he will defend the belt numerous times and do it in even more of an exciting fashion!

Funny, they keep mentioning Gustaffson being taller by an inch. But fail to mention that jones still holds a huge reach advantage over Gus.

They point out that Alexander is 3cm taller than Jones but they dont mention Jones still has a massive reach advantage. My moneys still on Alex tho :)

Gustafsson won, Im happy over knowing that he's not that sad over the loss. He will crush Jones soon (again).

we need a rematch with jon jones and vitor belfort

That was 3,5 years ago when Gustafsson was a part-time fighter. Gus is a much better fighter today.

I think Jones has this one, his GnP is just to vicous!

Well we'll never know!!....when you respect your opponent...you will Win!!

yeah. When D Cruz comes back, he can fight for the belt it aint going nowhere

It doesn't. Rampage even said he didn't train for him because he didn't take Forrest serious. Rashad clowned him, and Shogun was shitting on him twice. Only Brazilians and Anderson silva fans try to argue that Forrest is good though.

Gustafsson doesn't have to win. I only hope to see them fight more then once.

Gustafsson will shock the world just as Ingemar Johansson did!

I can See Gusstofson winning as long as he works on his take down defense. I don't think Jon Jones want to strike him the intire time just because they are both the same height.

They can, but don't. That would negatively affect them in their fights. It's basic knowledge to not eat too much after making weight. Although some people do.

He can back it up, and that means it's confidence not cockiness......

I'm so upset that Barao has been the interim champ for so long. In a way, it's not fair to take Dominick's belt away since he's injured, but it's also unfair for Barao to have to defend his interim belt. Barao should be promoted to the undisputed champ, then when Cruz is healthy he can fight for it.

Alexander will be a tough opponent but Jon jones is my favorite fighter. I think he got this.

That's the reason why he always win in the fight..

jon "the elbow" jones show is in its pure state, is a ruthless killer, it is technically superior to anyone, and then when it hits it hurts, for me is like Muhammad Ali for boxing .. same class .. I'm lucky to be able to see fight jon bones jones

In the first fight when he faces someone of the same scale, Jones understands that he is not superior as thought ... He bleeds, and will see hell in the next battle ...

gustaffson is EXTREMELY SIMILAR to jones in style, aggression and skills... dude.. wow kenny florian... just wow
